Where to Watch Alien: Resurrection
- Brad.Plex.October 13, 2024Though Alien Resurrection is a very flawed film, it's a marked improvement over the last installment. Plenty of cheesy dialogue and ham-fisted performances throughout though it's possible to have some fun with the 4th entry.
- Blood Member4d agoThis movie was amazing. I don’t know why it gets so much hate. It had such a great 90’s campy vibe to it. Not to mention the heavy hitting cast. It was great to see Ripley again too. When her kid was being sucked out into space through the tiny hole you even felt sorry for it. It’s basically a new puppy. You can’t help but feel sorry for it.
- matthew5786October 24, 2026If I could give this less than half a star I would. This is the Jaws 4, Godfather 3, Independence day 2, The Matrix Resurrections of the Aliens series. It kills off one of the best parts of the lore being Weyland Yutani with a crappy punchline. The Aliens themselves and the visual affects are sub par in every way. The previous movies were exceptional in story, effects acting etc. Pretty much everything was better. If youre thinking about watching this. Just dont. You're welcome.
- Dave BarnesMarch 5, 2025Not as good as the original by a long way. Too many simple tropes being played out badly. Not as bad as Alien 3 though.
- Chris MilkshakeOctober 20, 2026This film does to the Alien(s) films what Conan the Destroyer (1984) did to Conan the Barbarian (1982). Keep the genre nerds away from serious works.
- David WigginsMay 28, 2026Very poor
- logangjerdeAugust 16, 2025Its a lot of fun and worth the warch!
- Hughie JeanveauApril 3, 2026This is just a fun movie. Nothing really scary about it. Some good action scenes and Ripley is still awesome as ever. Good cast, also. 4th on my list of Alien movies.
- Subash RamoneAugust 10, 2025Rewatched this again and it is still the worst movie of the Alien franchise. The only good thing in this movie was watching Brad Dourif be weird.
- Otacon!February 24, 2026The bad brother? The black sheep? Maybe. First fact, it is not the best from the franchise. Same as the third, this movie had many problems with the freedom of creation and script rewrite. But is not terrible. The best part of the movie IS the cast and their characters. The performance and characters story and personality gives two stars to the movie. I can easily remember some funny expression, some phrase or joke, some situation and evolution caused by characters. They are good for sure. And here comes the "not so good" part: take away the cast and theirs characters, the story is poor and full of wtf moments. But not good ones. They had used SO much CGI that the first thing that jumps in my mind are the Xeno foot and the Xeno swimmers that clips over a wall. But ok. I will watch it again, I know that for sure, when I will make the Alien/Predator marathon. I will enjoy the cast, the jokes, but not the only part that will start the marathon. The desire to see our beloved Xenos
- ZokkiieApril 2, 2026Honestly, this one tries to do a lot and mostly stumbles. The jokes? Totally cringe—immature, forced, and laughably bad. I do like that the lore expands with second-gen Synthetics rebelling; it gives a nice Blade Runner vibe, even if it’s not really explored in the movie itself. The creatures and visuals look great, and there’s some solid action to keep things moving. Still, the story is messy, the characters barely register, and the tone can’t decide whether it wants to be horror, sci-fi, or goofy comedy. A few interesting ideas peek through, but they get buried under clunky execution and weird tonal shifts.
- naren shenoyMarch 16, 2026I’m not sure if this is a different version from the original, but I seem to remember some slight variations in the final scenes leading to the climactic ending. This version was better, however, still massively flawed. The special effects were better than its predecessor, Alien 3, as there were more use of practical effects. The action was decent enough, and somewhere in here there was a cool idea about cross hybrid humans and xenomorphs. But there was soooo much camp that just did not land and is quite the opposite of the original 2 (maybe even 3) Alien movies. Maybe it was ahead of its time, considering it was a much more successful formula for Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the MCU.
- Vincent ReggianniniMay 24, 2025In the theater, no one can hear you snore.
- Paul WalshFebruary 13, 2026A fairly schlocky Alien franchise addition. It's nothing special but still better than most serie's fourth outings.
